What a surprise it is to realize that what one is
today is so strongly influenced by those who came before. Have you ever
looked at a picture taken 50 years before you were born and seen your own face
staring back? My resemblance to great-grandmother Amelia is so strong that
one of our employees remarked, "Carol's family tree must not have any
branches."

Please join me for a look at
our family... and possibly your own. Carol's House is filled with pictures
and information concerning individuals whose walk on this earth should never be
lost to time. Most are ordinary people just like you or I.

Explore the people, places,
and
times that have made us what we are. I would
request any assistance you might be able to provide in the way of family
information, stories, and/or pictures. Little details such as those
make the dates, names and places transform into a real person.

Once upon a time, my
great-grandfather Anel's house stood across the busy highway from my
grandfather's field. How I begged to be allowed to explore its mysteries.
But not once did I disobey my Mother's orders not to cross the road.
That vacant old house filled with family treasures is now gone. And
its too late to cross the road.
